Rush 1973 to 1982 On Track : Every Album, Every Song
Rush - Book - by Richard James
(2024)
Rush. In their own words, 'The World's Biggest Cult Band', started from
humble beginnings: three suburban teenagers. Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee,
and John Rutsey formed a Led Zeppelin-influenced trio, eventually
scratching a living playing the bars and clubs of their native Toronto.
A hard work ethic, no small amount of talent, and a slice of good
fortune enabled their first, self-financed and distributed album to gain
a foothold in the American market. And then, on the eve of their
first American tour, drummer Rutsey quit. Fortune smiled on them again
when auditions for a replacement shed builder produced Neil Peart, who
could not only drum like a demon but was adept at lyric writing.
Sharing a love of the then emerging progressive rock scene, the trio
embarked on crafting a series of albums from the 'second' debut, Fly By
Night, to the career-defining and best-selling masterpiece Moving
Pictures; records which would secure them a permanent place in the rock
hierarchy. This book reviews all these albums up to Signals, their
1982 release, which saw the band embracing keyboard technology and
severing their connections with long-time producer Terry Brown, the
unofficial fourth member of the trio.
